[PATCH] cx25821: Remove bad strcpy to read-only char*

[Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@xxxxxxxxx>]

The strcpy was being used to set the name of the board.
This was both wrong and redundant,
since the destination char* was read-only and
the name is set statically at compile time.

The type of the name field is changed to const char*
to prevent future errors.

Hi Mauro,

I believe without this patch cx25821 driver
is completely unusable.

So perhaps this patch should also go to stable tree?
I'm a bit unsure about this procedure.

Regards,
Ezequiel.
